Kevin Mark Phillips (born 25 July 1973 in Hitchin) is an English footballer who currently plays for Aston Villa F.C. He holds the Sunderland A.F.C. record for most post-war goals, breaking a record previously set by Gary Rowell.

Phillips scored 24 goals in 59 games for Watford (1 goal per 2.5 games), 113 goals in 207 games for Sunderland (1 goal per 1.83 games) and 23 goals in 64 games for Southampton (1 goal per 2.8 games).
